The review may need work, but it certainly did the trick for me. I now know to put Far Cry 2 in the "to rent" file. To think, I was going to buy it today! Thanks man.

What killed it for me? The fact that people can take hits on the arms and legs and still come at you. For a game like Fallout 3 I can excuse because it's an RPG. For Gears 2, I can excuse because they're goddamn aliens. I'm not so down with letting that go in Far Cry 2.
